Monster Hunter Wilds producer knows exactly why the game is so successful—and it’s not gameplay
Monster Hunter Wilds is the fastest-selling Capcom title to date, shipping millions of copies in its first couple of weeks. The game’s senior producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto, believes the success doesn’t have much to do with gameplay, but with Wilds‘ greater focus on storytelling.
In a March 10 interview with The Nikkei (translated by Automaton), Tsujimoto said that Wilds‘ greater level of immersion through voice acting and deeper storytelling drove the game to such stellar heights. He added that the inclusion of crossplay, too, played a crucial role, as players on any platform could play with their friends no matter the machine they used. It’s true that Wilds has a much more story-driven design than its predecessors, where the narrative was often sidelined in favor of good combat and enemies.
